Pretty nice build you got there, congrats.

I had a Amd/Nvidia setup ,*sniff* she died earlier this year. This time around I'm doing 965BE/5870x2(AMD/ATI).

Err lets see, I still have it in my closet, it's from 2005.

• RaidMax Cobra (Black)
• AMD64 3000+ Socket 754
• 2gb of G.skill
• Gigabyte 754 mobo
• Nvidia 6800gs PCI-E
• WD 80GB Harddrive
• Thermaltake 500watt psu

GOOD TIMES!!

The ATI Radeon 9000 64mb was my very first video card....those were the days. I would stay up till 3am in the morning playing BF:1942 or COD 1 online multiplayer over the weekend.

so a 5870x2 for how much then 600$ 700$? or will they wait for nvidia to launch its gtx300 series card and then release the 5870x2 to compete with the gtx380.johnny27

Yea, thats what I'm wondering also, I havn't seen much information on the 5870x2.

Hmmm...interesting, wasn't their something about ATI making a 5870x2 also?

Oh Gosh, not another one these threads they usually turn into digital forum wars, but to answer your question I'm in love with AMD at the moment I had my eyes on the Core i7 950 for awhile on a upcoming build but decided to go with the AMD Phenom II 965 after really researching both. Asfar as gpu I don't favor either, I pretty much go with the one that has the best performance at the time when putting together a rig.

Yea, you're pretty much going to need a new pc, WOW system requirements have been slightly raised since WOTLK when they implemeted dynamic shawdows and other minor graphical improvements. If you plan on building/buy a new pc, a nice dual core proc, 2gb/4gb of ram and a gpu such as the Ati 4870 would be nice. Even though you have the miniumum system requirements it doesn't mean it's going to be enjoyable when playing (low Fps etc).

Just switched from AT&T 6mb to Comcast.. upload sucks, the highest it ever peaked was at 8mb but I rarely upload things so I honestly don't care about it.

Funny thing about WOW is that no matter what your pc specs, rather it be a high end quad core (Phenom 2 or Core i7)or Duo you won't always maintain 60+fps especially in heavily populated areas. I've seen a high end gaming rig equipped with a Core i7 965/GTX 295dip pretty low in crowded areas. In less populated areas expect to see huge fps numbers with that rig you've put together.It's Blizzard fault as they never really optimized the game to take advantage of the highend CPU/GPU'S.
